ELIZABETH —A city mother charged in the death of her toddler daughter is still on probation for a child abuse conviction, The Star-Ledger has learned.

Raquel Ramirez, 30, accused in Sunday's death of her 2-year-old daughter Dayanna Oroczo, was charged in September 2011 with child abuse, neglect and cruelty, according to court records. She pleaded guilty to abuse of a child in January 2012 and was sentenced by Superior Court Judge Robert Mega on April 5, 2012, to two years' probation, according to the records and court officials.

It was not immediately clear whether that incident involved Dayanna.

Her next appointment was scheduled for next week, court officials said.

Authorities also disclosed today that Dayanna died from blunt force trauma.

Dayanna was pronounced dead Sunday night in her father's apartment after emergency personnel were called to tend to an unresponsive child.

The Union County Prosecutor's Office said today Dayanna died from "multiple forms of blunt force trauma." Ramirez has been charged with aggravated assault

Ramirez is being held in the Elizabeth Police Department lockup on $50,000 bail. No first appearance in Superior Court has been scheduled yet.

The Star-Ledger has requested documents from the prosecutor's office regarding Ramirez' previous charges.

The apartment where Dayanna died belongs to the child's father, but it wasn't immediately clear whether Ramirez also lived there, whether the couple was married or whether they have other children.

There was no answer to a knock on the door of the apartment today.

Anyone with information about the death is asked to call Elizabeth Detective Raymond Smith at (908) 558-2000, ext. 2017.
